ELM 7-580 LED Standoff Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The ELM 7-580 is a T1 LED standoff manufactured by Bivar Inc., designed for vertical mounting applications with a 0.580" (14.73mm) length. This component is constructed from black PVC material and accommodates 3MM LED configurations with 2-lead connections. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production environments.

Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or design flexibility necessitate alternative components that maintain functional equivalence within the allowed parameter specifications for T1 LED standoff applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ELM 7-580 are identified based on strict parameter alignment within the T1 LED standoff category. The primary substitution criterion is mechanical compatibility, specifically the ability to function in applications where the standoff length may accommodate minor dimensional variation while maintaining the same LED type (T1), material composition (black PVC), mounting orientation (vertical), and electrical configuration (3MM, 2-lead).

The ELM 4-600 qualifies as a parametric equivalent based on the following shared specifications:

• LED Type: T1 (identical)
• Material: Black PVC (identical)
• Mounting Configuration: Vertical Mount, 3MM, 2-Lead (identical)
• Color: Black (identical)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (identical)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (identical)
• Manufacturer: Bivar Inc. (identical)
• Packaging: Bag (identical)

The dimensional difference (0.580" versus 0.600") represents the only parameter variation and must be evaluated within the specific application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the ELM 7-580 and ELM 4-600 maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific length requirements.

The ELM 7-580 (0.580" length) is the primary specification for applications requiring the shorter standoff dimension. The ELM 4-600 (0.600" length) provides a 0.020" (0.51mm) longer standoff and is suitable for applications where this increased length is mechanically compatible with the PCB layout and component clearance envelope.

Both parts are manufactured by Bivar Inc. and share identical material, LED type, mounting configuration, and compliance certifications. Inventory availability should be evaluated against project timeline requirements, with 834 units of ELM 7-580 and 1058 units of ELM 4-600 currently in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ELM 4-600 be used as a direct replacement for the ELM 7-580?

A: The ELM 4-600 is a parametric equivalent with identical LED type (T1), material (black PVC), mounting configuration (vertical, 3MM, 2-lead), and compliance specifications. The 0.020" length difference must be evaluated within the specific application's mechanical constraints and PCB layout requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: LED type (T1), material composition (black PVC), mounting orientation (vertical), LED size (3MM), lead count (2-lead), color (black), RoHS compliance status (ROHS3), and Moisture Sensitivity Level (1). Length variation is the only parameter that differs between these parts.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes, both the ELM 7-580 and ELM 4-600 are supplied in Bag packaging, ensuring consistent handling and storage procedures.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and environmental standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings (1 - Unlimited), indicating equivalent environmental performance and regulatory compliance for production applications.

Q: What is the dimensional difference between these parts?

A: The ELM 7-580 has a length of 0.580" (14.73mm), while the ELM 4-600 has a length of 0.600" (15.24mm), representing a 0.020" (0.51mm) difference. This dimensional variation must be accommodated within the application's mechanical design.
